Season 2 Episode 5

Jackie overreacts to Kevin's movie date with Ginny Flynn and the girls. Mrs. Akalitus stations a security guard at the Pill-O-Matix, making access harder for Jackie. Mrs. Akalitus asks Dr. Cooper to be the "Face of All Saints," a citywide ad campaign using his image to bring in more insured patients.

After a morning of defiant daughters cutting their own hair, Jackie blows off some steam and calls the hipster drug dealer, Gabe, for a re-up. Prentiss and Zoey arrive to find an angry patient defacing the hospital because of Prentiss' bedside manner—and Zoey agrees it needs improvement. Zoey is volunteering later that night at a gay bar giving out free meningitis vaccinations but no one will go with her. Coop gets the disappointing news that his sperm count is too low to allow him to donate. And Carrie gets the lucky break of treating NY1 anchor Pat Kiernan which leads her to be part of an on air medical segment. Akalitus is on a winning streak too—her poker habit is really starting to pay off. Jackie cares for a patient with severe auto-immune issues and non-communicative doctors. So Jackie calls the physicians to the ER under dramatic false pretenses—and her patient can get the care she deserves. However, Jackie's day is interrupted when Frank comes by to tell her that Grace has been arrested for shoplifting. While meeting with Grace and Kevin at the precinct, Grace drops the bomb that Kevin's engaged. Jackie's blindsided. She goes to see her new sponsor who tells her news like this is hard to take sober—don't buy anything or make any big decisions. But Jackie can't help herself. She goes out and scores something she's wanted all day: a dog.

Kevin’s engagement has left Jackie reeling. After having a sex dream that involves both Eddie and Kevin, Jackie wakes up with Frank at the foot of her bed asking to move in. She’s not ready for that and will have to think of some way to keep him at bay. While staking out Kevin’s fiancé’s dress shop with Antoinette, Jackie gets more than an eyeful when she witnesses the budding relationship between Kevin’s fiancé, Mia, and Grace. Jackie makes a scene, forcing Kevin to cancel the dinner he had planned to formerly introduce them. Meanwhile, back at All Saints, Akalitus’s string of luck at poker continues, Coop and Carrie’s bond deepens when she decides to put him on television. Prentiss gets a visitor from his past: A childhood friend whose mild symptoms reveal a grave illness, forces Prentiss to reconcile who he was, who he is, and where his life with Zoey is heading. At lunch, Frank is still pressing Jackie to move in. With Mia and Grace on the brain, Jackie reminds Frank that she hasn’t even met his kids. This observation leads to a revelation about Frank’s past -- he had an affair, and consequently, his children no longer speak to him. Now Jackie has the ammo she needs to keep him from moving in. Frank asks to come over tonight and talk about it. Jackie agrees, then invites the entire crew from All Saints over for a poker night. Frank knows that Jackie is trying to put him off, but when he presses the matter, Jackie tells him that Kevin had an affair and she is reluctant to get involved with a cheater. Frank backs off. With everyone from All Saints distracted with poker, and Frank taking the dog for a walk, Jackie swallows five pills. Frank sees the whole thing. Jackie has no idea that she’s been caught.

Certain she has a hidden stash, Frank searches Jackie’s house for drugs. Luckily for Jackie, he throws his back out before he can find anything. Laid up and in pain, Frank confesses to Jackie that he saw her use at the poker party the night before and was searching the house. Realizing she dodged a bullet, Jackie quickly removes all drugs from her home and tries to find a hiding place for them at All Saints, finally settling on an old relic in the ladies rest room. Jackie complains to Antoinette about her upcoming dinner with Kevin and his new finance, but Antoinette convinces her to go. Back at work, Jackie connects with a homeless, alcoholic nun who seems to have given up on life. Frank’s suspicions are raised once again when Grace announces matter of factly that her mother is the world’s best liar. When Frank finds an old drug stash by accident, he calls Jackie to confront her but she brushes him off and heads inside a Williamsburg loft where she finds distraction and excitement in the arms of Gabe, the young drug user she met at the Square Dance. Prentiss misses the action of working in a war zone and is momentarily in his element when a multiple injury trauma is said to be coming into All Saints. Later, Zoey confronts Prentiss about his dissatisfaction and encourages him to do what he loves. Jackie is thrilled when Frank makes a surprise appearance at Kevin and Mia's dinner only to be confused by his caustic attitude. Mia and Kevin make a big announcement which causes Frank to reconsider confronting Jackie about the drugs he found. Jackie pops a surprising question to Frank.

Jackie's fake identity is compromised when it's announced at work that Dr. Carrie Roman's DEA number has been stolen by a woman named Nancy Wood. As Akalitus and Carrie both look into the mystery of Nancy Wood, Jackie has other problems to deal with: her bank account is down to $527, she's on her last bag of pills, her boyfriend Frank has just moved in, and her sponsor Antoinette is hounding her about her sobriety. Meanwhile, Prentiss has a big date night planned for Zoey, which includes the Opera and dinner at Per Se. Their plans are cut short when Zoey suspects something is wrong. Prentiss finally admits the truth: that he's re-enlisted in the army and is leaving All Saints. A sad Zoey returns to the ER to find Jackie alone after having just lost a young patient. Together they watch the remainder of the Opera on Zoey's phone.

The pressure of hiding her addiction is beginning to take a serious toll on Jackie. Meanwhile, Grace's friend Mandy tells Jackie that Grace is receiving an award at school that day. Before the girls leave the house, Mandy bullies Grace into letting her stash her party drugs in Grace’s room. Meanwhile, Jackie arrives at work only to be ambushed again by Antoinette, who confronts Jackie about her use and makes a harrowing confession that spurs Jackie to get sober. After white-knuckling it through the morning, Jackie asks Eddie to find her some Suboxone – a controversial withdrawal drug – and he reluctantly agrees. Meanwhile, Akalitus attempts to cheer up Zoey by naming her nurse of the month. Over a patient, Zoey and Carrie clash and then actually begin to build a bond. Coop’s dream of becoming chief has finally come true. Just as Jackie's at the end of her rope, Eddie comes through with the Suboxone. Jackie takes it and heads to Grace's awards ceremony, where she is shocked to learn that her daughter has started an Al-Anon chapter at school. When Grace gives a speech about how difficult it is to be the child of an addict, Jackie is devastated but supportive. That evening, she discovers the stash of Oxy in Grace's room and after a full day of being sober, takes a handful. When Frank comes home, she confesses that she’s high. Furious, Frank walks out on her. Jackie lets him go and then, suddenly terrified of losing her entire life again, chases him down and begs him to help her get clean.

Jackie detoxes at home with the help of Frank, Eddie, and Antoinette. It is a painful, embarrassing and emotional process for Jackie. In her detox, Jackie dreams that she is back on the floor at All Saints. Here she meets a mysterious patient who will expose Jackie’s greatest fear; that her relationship with Grace is not repairable. When Jackie awakens from her dream, the worst of detox is over. She’s on the mend when Grace comes home needing comfort after a really bad day at school. Jackie’s worst fears for the future of her relationship with her daughter have not come true. Jackie has a second chance with Grace. Due to Jackie’s fragile state, Frank raises objections to Grace moving home. Jackie realizes Frank isn’t strong enough to be in a relationship with a life-long addict. She locks him out of the house, snorts a line, and tends to her daughter.

As Kevin and Mia plan their wedding Jackie and Frank remain estranged. Though they’re ‘not talking,’ Frank calls Jackie to warn her about a DEA investigation he heard is happening at All Saints involving interviews and urine tests. Jackie asserts she has nothing to worry about and ends the call quickly. It’s clear the physician’s number she stole is coming home to roost. Meanwhile, the death of the All Saints newsstand proprietor has the staff reflecting on the anonymity of life and Zoey and Thor plan a memorial. Jackie devises a painful spur of the moment solution to the impending DEA urine test involving Akalitus. The homeless nun returns in worse shape than ever and Jackie is happy to have a second chance to help her. Jackie brushes off the overly assuming Antoinette, claiming she wants to do recovery on her own. Antoinette turns to Eddie for help and more. Coop and Carrie find a way to get around their ‘no sex in the hospital’ rule. Jackie comes home to find a wedding invitation from Kevin and Mia. Inside she is shocked to find Frank and his two sons hanging out with Grace and Fi. Frank makes a pitch to get back together. We think Jackie's on board as she looks at the invitation to Kevin's wedding but we're not so sure.

As Jackie's drug use intensifies, she realizes she needs to clear the decks of the people closest to her if she wants to keep using. She notices Grace and Frank's son getting a little too close for comfort. And this is all the ammunition she needs. She simplifies her life by breaking up with Frank and getting rid of Antoinette once and for all. Meanwhile, Carrie has forgotten Coop's 40th birthday the morning after they've slept together—and Thor manages to save her with the world's greatest present. The DEA investigation becomes more intense—many members of the staff at All Saints are questioned. And the investigation of Nancy Wood zeroes in on a suspect: Akalitus. And Zoey, now that she's single and has some clarity, decides to take the next step in her career and become a Nurse Practitioner. Jackie meets up with Gabe and we realize that she's going to take him to Kevin's wedding.

It's Kevin's wedding day and Jackie's going–not because she wants to, but because Fiona begged her. Luckily for her, she's got a serious stash to get her through. Akalitus has turned her suspicious eye on Jackie now that the DEA is breathing down her neck. Helen (the drunk nun that Jackie connected with in previous episodes) is brought in after a suicide attempt that will ultimately end her life in a few hours. Jackie cares for Helen along with all the other women in the ER. And to cover her own ass, Jackie convinces Helen to pass herself off as Nancy Wood, which takes Akalitus off the scent. Meanwhile, Carrie demands that Coop introduce her to his mom and he surprises her when he says he can't until they're serious. So Carrie uses her newfound local tv notoriety to out their relationship. But Jackie's drug use is at its zenith and after writing a gorgeous recommendation for Zoey's graduate program, Zoey witnesses Jackie make a near fatal error with a patient. And Zoey's suspicions are raised and then confirmed once Helen dies. Jackie attends Kevin's wedding which is going smoothly until Grace pieces together that Gabe's a dealer. Jackie and Gabe get into an argument that turns physical and after a serious altercation, Jackie and Gabe are both kicked out of Kevin's wedding. And Zoey walks into Akalitus' office to inform her about Jackie.

Zoey tells Akalitus that she suspects Jackie may be using drugs again, because Jackie almost killed a patient. But Zoey doesn’t share the damning evidence: a photo that Jackie used to make a fake ID, while blaming a dying patient for stealing Dr. Roman’s DEA number. Meanwhile, Jackie sleeps with Eddie. When Jackie gets to work the next morning, Akalitus orders her to submit to drug testing, or admit that she’s using drugs and enter a ‘diversion program,’ which involves rehab, probation, and a major pay cut. Jackie, ever-defiant, won’t admit a thing. Akalitus tells Jackie if she fails the drug test, she will be stripped of her license and will not be able to practice medicine again. Jackie tries to convince Coop that it was Carrie’s incompetence that almost cost a patient’s life. When Coop confronts Carrie, she takes full responsibility and also tells Coop she’s pregnant with his child. Desperate now, Jackie confronts Zoey, but Zoey won’t back down. She tells Jackie that she will hand over the damning fake ID photo if Jackie doesn’t go to rehab. Akalitus calls Jackie to take the drug test, and Jackie flees the hospital. She stops at Kevin’s apartment to ask her daughters to spend the afternoon with her, but Grace tells Jackie off. Jackie uses drugs and hits the road – with a suitcase full of pills that Eddie gives her. But as she’s rushing to catch a flight out of New York, she sees a car accident. Her nursing instincts take over, and she helps the injured motorist. When paramedics arrive on the scene, Jackie gets back in her car and drives off – right into an ambulance. The pills in her suitcase go flying. Cops point flashlights into her car and see the drugs. And then, they arrest Jackie Peyton.

In Season 6, Ruby Jerins (Grace) shines as an actor as she never has before – playing the harshest, most confrontational scenes she’s yet performed on the series. In this close-up look at the gifted actress (who was 15 during the shooting of Season 6), we’ll explore in depth Ruby’s strongest scenes of the season.

Take a powerful look at how the creative team decided to push the series’ content to the edge – and beyond – by showing an increasingly self-destructive Jackie.

Season 5 premiere. An overturned bus makes for a crazy day at All Saints as two new doctors join the staff: Dr. Carrie Roman (Betty Gilpin) and Dr. Ike Prentiss (Morris Chestnut).

Carrie's peer review does not go well. Grace has a breakdown about Jackie. Jackie takes something she shouldn't have.

Jackie is detoxing in rehab. When she finally wakes, she meets her elderly roommate, an unfriendly klepto named Doris. Meanwhile, back at All Saints, Mike Cruz's innovations continue to irritate the whole staff, except for Coop. In rehab, Jackie escapes to a broom closet for some solitude, only to find the 17-year-old Charlie.

Worried about Grace, Jackie leaves rehab early against the medical advice of her counselor and returns to a very different All Saints. On top of the Quantam Bay takeover, this is the first time she's had to work sober. Almost instantly her nerves are rattled, and even Coop hurts her feelings.

When Grace reveals she knows about rehab, Jackie is blindsided, and goes to Kevin's to make sure he's aware of everything before he hears it from someone else.

Jackie wants to hire temp nurses because All Saints is understaffed, but Cruz doesn't allow it.

O'Hara goes into labor and Jackie joins her but is soon pulled away when Charlie enters the E.R. as a patient.

Later, bedlam ensues in the ER when two street meat vendors are brought in after a comically brutal turf war.

Jackie's back in the swing of things, having re-hidden her stash of pills in the basement and mended fences with O'Hara. Zoey's working her first double and Jackie worries about her burning out. Lou, an out-of-work salesman, comes into the hospital and wins everyone over. O'Hara accepts the title of ER chief, which sparks a competitive streak in Coop. Kevin invites Eddie to a backyard barbecue to celebrate his new job. When Jackie gets home, she sees empty closets and drawers and panics-did Kevin leave her? She finds out he went to an Al-Anon meeting and the drawers are emptied because of a clothing drive at the school. Jackie asks Kevin to walk to the parish with her; she thinks they mistakenly gave away some sentimental items. She digs through the box of Grace's baby clothes to find what she was looking for-tiny mittens with bags of pills stashed inside.

Jackie is on edge after realizing the stash of pills she stole from Bill the epileptic drug dealer is quickly dwindling. With a head of steam, Jackie confronts Eddie about his recent text exchanges with Kevin's younger sister, Tunie. Eddie maintains that it's completely innocent, while making the point that Jackie has no leg to stand on. Coop remains determined to battle O'Hara for the ER Chief title, but suffers a huge emotional blow when his mothers announce they're divorcing.

Later, Jackie and O'Hara spar over whether to confront a belligerent mother who's making false claims about her daughter's need for treatment in order to stay on public assistance. At the end of a long, grueling day Jackie hits a new low when she makes her first illicit drug transaction with Bill.

As Jackie's supply of pills starts to dwindle, her strategies become more intense and secretive, but she's able to keep Kevin's suspicions about her at bay. At All Saints, the saints from the chapel are being removed and carted off by the diocese. Between this, the lack of pills, her spiraling lack of control, and the saints leaving the building, Jackie finds herself unable to even walk through her own front door at the end of the day.

At All Saints, while helping Akalitus understand her new high-tech office phone, Thor helps her face a deeper fear. Meanwhile, two drunk high school girls, skipping school, arrive in the ER after one of them face plants on the sidewalk, and they spend the day flirting with Kelly Slater. When Jackie notices this, she accuses Kelly of being inappropriate with the girls, which he denies. Coop, still dealing with his mothers' divorce, is attempting to literally throw away his childish things that have cluttered his office. As night falls, and Jackie needs to get to Immaculate Virgin to see Grace perform in the Saint Pageant, she stops by Bill's apartment only to find him permanently indisposed.

With Jackie's drug hookup crushed under a truck, she's run out of pills and is jonesing. She resorts to trying to get through the day by cobbling together a drugstore buzz. Eddie confronts Kelly about the missing Fentanyl patches from the Oncology run he passed off to Jackie. Kelly follows protocol to the letter, which means a trip to HR to take responsibility. Coop sets his sights on an old girlfriend he's found on Facebook. He's determined to get his life back in order after his mom's divorce and start a family of his own. Zoey assesses the seriousness of her relationship with Lenny after he's put on a heart monitor for the day. O'Hara finally settles down enough to purchase an apartment. Having made it through the day without the rush of a full-on high, Jackie finds what she needs on the walk home from work.

The Peytons meet with Grace's psychiatrist Dr. Bowen. During the meeting, Grace asks to be put on medication. They agree to try it. At work, when Jackie asks Eddie if he can fill Grace's scrip, he's cagey. Akalitus pulls Jackie off a case and tells her that she's putting her on probation based on an inquiry that has come down from HR. Jackie asks her not to tell any of the other nurses she's on probation and she immediately interrogates O'Hara. O'Hara and Jackie argue in front of the staff who immediately take sides.

Kevin promises to be home but doesn't make it back until after Jackie is asleep and slips into bed unseen.

Coop has a hard time getting Eddie to agree to be his best man and under duress asks Thor to sing at his wedding. Akalitus loses the First Lady visit but still has to spend the day entertaining a group of obese children.

O'Hara, wanting to help Jackie, tells her she will help medicate her under doctor's supervision. There's a steady supply on the horizon again.

Coop's wedding is today and Jackie has forgotten to get the cake. She enlists Zoey. Fiona gets caught trying to light matches at school and Kevin gets called in and can't reach Jackie who is dodging his calls. Now that Eddie thinks Kevin's onto them, Jackie is avoiding the inevitable conversation her husband is determined to have with her. Coop's bride stands him up at the altar and the staff rallies around him. Akalitus finally gets Jackie to take a pee test just as Kevin, with both girls in tow, arrives at the hospital. Everything is catching up with her. She hands Akalitus the urine, passes the girls off to O'Hara and goes to face her husband, who makes a jaw-dropping admission. Jackie sees a light at the end of the tunnel and ruthlessly tells him to pack his bags.
